Abstract

Here, a MoO_x-T based catalyst was developed by a simple reduction of MoO₃ precursors at different temperatures. Interestingly, a partially reduced MoO_x-600 catalyst obtained by reducing the MoO₃ precursor at 600 °C shows the co-existence of a mixture of different valence states (0, +4, ∼+6) of Mo, and as a result, provides a superior catalytic activity.
